So many times people shout out requests for songs, that we've hit upon a novel idea....We will
play your request, whether it's a song we know well or not, if you will throw paper money at us
while we play it, to donate to Smile Train!!! It's worked great so far, and with a final throwing
session during Tenderness we have raised enough money at every show for a smile or even two!
It's a wonderful way for us all to be immediately involved in changing a kids life forever, for
the price of a drink!! The kid will be eternally grateful, so will the Universe, and even maybe
your liver! People tell me they are still smiling weeks after, just through making a donation, and
we certainly love prancing around the stage under a rain of greenbacks like strippers!!!"
